Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

Due to the scarcity of technical personnel, even a battalion commander has to sit in a tank as long as he can drive a tank, not to mention excellent tank drivers like Lowell and Salome.

"Captain, do you think we can pass through Feike City smoothly?"

Lowell responded to the question raised by the gunner on his vehicle: "Why do you care? If you can pass, go. If you can't pass, shoot. What? Are you scared?"

The gunner waved his hands and said, "Of course I'm not scared, I'm just... a little nervous."

"It's normal to be nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous when going to the battlefield for the first time? Even if you encounter the enemy, you just need to do what you did during training."

"We will eventually face cultists. I heard that cultists can command powerful monsters."

Lowell laughed out loud:

"Isn't what we are driving a giant beast? This is the most powerful weapon of the Republic. No one can stop us. Anyone who stands in the way will only be crushed by the tracks!"

"Yeah, hahahaha"

"Cheer up, we are about to reach Feike City. If a fight breaks out, we can't let the other camps see us."

The gunner knew that the battalion commander had a rival, and that was Battalion Commander Salome from the neighboring battalion.

Salome also gave a morale boost in her car:

"We're almost there, get ready. This is our first battle, don't embarrass our battalion."

Soon, the first barrier leading to Feike City appeared in front of the vanguard troops. The new Great Wall gate that was originally used to block monsters was not only wide open, but also had a big hole in it.

Lowell said: "It seems that there is no need to fight"

Then he picked up the communicator and said, "All crews, maintain formation and move forward at full speed!"

The gunner breathed a sigh of relief but felt disappointed. Only then did he realize that he was not nervous before, but excited, looking forward to driving this steel behemoth to crush the enemy!

Eva was standing on the city wall at the moment, looking at the endless convoy, shock written all over her face, and the sound of the tank engines stimulated her eardrums.

She had never seen such huge metal monsters, they surged forward like a steel torrent. Each tank exuded a suffocating aura, as if it was unstoppable.

The cold gun barrel in front of her was telling her that the attack method of this steel monster was definitely not as simple as charging forward.

As a great knight, she had seen more ferocious and larger monsters than these, but for some reason, these beasts felt much more dangerous to her than the monsters themselves.

She said to Ethan beside her, "Now I understand what you mean about it being too narrow, but these things can't pass through the city."

"I know, so we will go in a straight line if we can, and we will set up the supply points ourselves."

At this moment, Sandy, the mayor of Feike City, had not figured out what was going on. He only saw a black convoy passing by his city, raising a cloud of dust.

There are many citizens here helping to transport things, and it seems that a new city is being built not far from the city.

As he got closer, he finally saw the flag of the convoy. It was the flag of the so-called Republic of Sun, next door. When did they get in? So he ran to question Eva.

The answer was to clear out the emperor's side.

It's over. The general at the border has rebelled.

I have passed the level of Feike City, but I have no connections in the lords' castles behind, so I can only force my way through.

Of course, we will send people to negotiate before the troops arrive, but we don’t have much hope.

During the advance, the advantages of mechanized troops began to show. When the enemy scouts discovered their own troops and went back to report the news, they found that the enemy had arrived at the lord's castle before them.

The lord was drinking fine wine, hugging a beautiful woman, eating a feast, and watching a magic show, but a loud bang broke this wonderful moment. He angrily asked who dared to disturb his leisure.

Then I saw through the window the smoke-filled walls outside the castle.

The vanguard troops eliminated all Type C155 artillery and replaced them with -caliber towed howitzers, named Type C, which had more ferocious firepower and mobility.

The lord had no idea what was happening. In one morning, his castle collapsed, his people were captured, and his entire territory was taken over. Most of the territory was taken over without a replacement, and of course there were some disobedient people among them.

At this time, Eva's identity came into play. Agnes was from a big family, and it was no problem to use this identity to suppress her for a few days.

The vanguard troops were unstoppable and many lords were often captured before they had time to dispatch their troops. They didn't even know who was attacking them.

But the deeper they went into the heart of the empire, the more resistance they encountered. There were always a few well-informed lords who gathered what troops they could and prepared to fight against these bandits.

That's right, the lords thought that this was just a group of bandits. If they were foreign enemies, they would definitely occupy the land. They fought so quickly, they must be bandits, bandits who would loot a city and leave.

Therefore, most of the troops they assembled were militiamen. There were also knights and magicians, but not many. Most of them were recruited by the empire to fight the two rebellious princes.

On a certain large plain, the army assembled by the Marquis and several other noble lords was here, ready to intercept the bandits. There were more than 150 people in total, including junior knights, intermediate knights, more than magicians of various levels, and the rest were militia. There were also half of them who were apprentice knights, but they were all cannon fodder.

What's more, they have 400 elite cavalrymen, which is more than enough to deal with a group of bandits.

Then they saw something they had never seen before, a group of black things that looked like iron boxes rushing towards them at a very fast speed.

Someone asked: "What is this? A monster?"

A magician said: "Magic beast? I have never seen this kind of magical beast!"

I have to say that the Marquis chose a very good location, a large plain, which provided no hindrance to tank shooting or charging.

A thousand meters away, an 80mm high-explosive shell fired from a gun barrel landed among the crowd, and the shock wave from the explosion blew away the surrounding soldiers. Screams of fear rang out one after another, and the originally neat battle line was instantly disrupted.

The Marquis exclaimed, "Magician! Raise the barrier!"

A large-scale magic shield rose up to block subsequent shooting.

The Marquis relaxed and wiped the sweat off his forehead, then gave the order: "Whatever that thing is, fight back!"

Various magic spells echoed each other and smashed heavily into the group of steel monsters in the distance. The gorgeous magic explosion left behind thick smoke and dust.

Seems like there's no movement?

What? That's it.

But then, the shells passed through the smoke and directly hit the magic shield. This time, they were armor-piercing shells.

The magic shield shattered instantly, and several mages who were maintaining the magic shield suffered backlash, spitting out blood and falling to the ground.

The tanks continued to approach, machine guns rang out, and bullets rained down on the enemy. The Marquis turned pale, and he realized that these iron boxes were far more terrifying than they had imagined.
